Description-en: Virtual package providing common used libraries by kicad
This package contains dependencies on the component libraries (schematics
and footprints), and also on the templates that are used in KiCad.
.
If you prefer to control the installation of the dependent packages
* kicad-footprint
* kicad-symbols
* kicad-templates
you should not install kicad-libraries and install one or more of the above
packages.
.
Note! 3D model libraries are not set as a dependency due the installation
size of this package, if you want to use the 3D models you need to install
kicad-packages3d separately.
